Vegetable Stir-Fry

Lunch is always a predicament for me.  I'm not big on eating anything too heavy, but I get bored with salads and sandwiches.  So, this stir-fry is absolutely perfect.  It took literally about 5 minutes to prep, taking about 15 minutes total from start to finish.  Add some sliced almonds, sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds, and serve with rice.  You can even add chicken or beef!  Delicious, filling, and ridiculously easy.  I know I promote these often, but if you work, I suggest investing in these individual rice bowls that can be found near in the rice in your grocery store.  You can bring leftover veggies to work, along with an individual Minute rice bowl, and save yourself a lot of money dining out!
